I went to the online form and didn't get past the first section ('your details!'). I downloaded the consultation doc because in their very first question "We would welcome your thoughts on the illustrative draft clauses found after paragraph 4 of Appendix 2 of the consultation document, as a means of achieving this."...FFS. And the rest is no better.
here I would suggest that 'dummies' like me use only your first few lines: e.g. something akin to:
"my interest is from the perspective of a UK citizen. I am responding to this consultation as I believe it’s critical for members of the public to have a say in such a fundamental issue as human rights. The ease with which several of those rights have been diminished under emergency powers over the last two years highlights the fragility of our rights, even in a liberal democracy like the UK.
As a non-lawyer, I have decided not to answer the specific detailed and technical Consultation questions. Rather, I provide a general response..."
To be followed by a few precise words about one or two points: ...to stop the totalitarian disaster we have just suffered ever happening again.
Thank you for this. Given that I find myself in a minority group. I am utterly dismayed that those campaign groups in particular appear to have done little to nothing about addressing their audience.
I have replied to very many consultations over the years. Do you know what my experience has taught me? They do whatever they want regardless. These things are optics, nothing more.
Sort of reminds one of that 1970's Trilateral Commission report where elites discussed the dangerous - "the excess of democracy" - that was then plaguing their efforts to plunder the planet. Well, here we go again, eh.
I pointed people to your original article, which alerted me to this matter, and shared it in the comments along with instructions on how to submit responses:
The minute the individual submits to the “greater good” is when the fuckery starts and the individual needs a veto over edicts which conflict with their unalienable rights

Done
I’m not sure if you’re on my mailing list, but I have been remiss in letting you know I published my Letter to the UK Government the other day:

I pointed people to your original article, which alerted me to this matter, and shared it in the comments along with instructions on how to submit responses:
https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-the-uk-government/comment/5427441
I also let Steve Kirsch know, and I think you saw the post he did sharing our articles:
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/if-you-are-a-british-citizen-or-uk
A lot of people have told me they submitted responses, so I just wanted to let you know the impact you had. Hopefully, it will make a difference.
Thanks for letting me know and including me in your article!
👍🙌
Great resumé of the proposals 👍🏻
